Defining Medical Technology and the Responsibilities of a Medical Technologist
What Is Medical Technology?
“Medical Technology (MT) is a paramedical field for which the student prepares in chemistry, biology, hematology and related disciplines. Well-trained and certified Medical Technologists can enter careers in clinical laboratory work, academic research, public health, teaching and the pharmaceutical industry.”
What Exactly Do Medical Technologists Do?Medical technologists play a crucial role in analyzing samples collected from patients in order for a doctor to make the right diagnosis.
All patient samples doctors collect like blood, saliva, urine, feces, etc. are taken to their labs to be examined by medical technologists.
● Tissue samples are prepared and cultured by medical technologists.
They use the samples collected by doctors to detect abnormal components in the bodily fluids that can be a red flag for a disease or infection.
Blood transfusions cannot be done (at least not safely) without the assistance of a medical technologist.
